Chanel's Robots

CHANEL robots will be invading Selfridges Oxford Street, London, from today. Don't be alarmed - the five quirky robots (created entirely from Chanel make-up products), are the brainchild of Peter Philips, creative director of the brand's make-up division, and even starred in their own unique animation entitled Here Comes the Beauty Pack as part of the Chanel's new Make-up Confidential campaign. "A few years ago I made these little robots that were part of a headpiece I created for a tribal make-up shoot, that's where the idea first came from," explained Philips. "I then had the chance to play with these characters and do an animation, that's how my little robots came to life."

Two of Selfridges' windows - famed for their head-turning displays - will be dedicated to the figures while, in-store, customers can purchase lip and eye products handpicked by Philips to create the robots, as well as watch the fun robot animation.
